The new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model for 2009 is Bar Refaeli!  Most famous for her Hollywood boyfriend (Leo DiCaprio), Bar Refaeli has been modeling since she was just a few months old!  Not only does she look fabulous wearing a bikini, it is her third time appearing in the famous SI edition.  She's also a great role model for young girls.  She is not your typical stick figure model.  She has curves and she looks great!  So what exactly does Bar do for a diet and workout routine?

When asked recently how she maintains her figure, of course she responded with a healthy diet and exercise of course.  She noticeably has killer legs.  It's been reported that she tones them with kicking!  She works out using martial arts and a self defense type routine that comes from her native country of Israel called Krav Maga. Her trainer is teaching her all kinds of kicks, and she says they work everything -- the abs, the butt, and yep, the legs. Martial-arts moves are part of Refaeli's fitness routine too.

She also enjoys horseback riding which apparently is really good for your core and posture.  She has been riding since a little girl and it's a great workout for toning your back, thighs, calves, and abs.

Right after her shoot with Sports Illustrated Bar was quoted as saying:

"They tell you ‘you better not go on a diet before the shoot’. Girls tend to think, ‘Oh my God, I have to be in swimwear, I have to look amazing’. They just say, ‘You better not, girl!’ And they just let you eat all the time during the photo shoot. They love that; they love their girls healthy.”

I love this girl already and she's only 21 years old!
